Milton and Daris, Thank you for the information about James. I went back through the Amherst Co. deed book and the microfilm copies I have of Amherst records but can't find anything that would indicate which James Nevil married Sally Shrader, yours or the one in the Capt. James Nevil line (the line we haven't been able to connect with your Thomas. Maybe the probate records in Amherst Co. or the Nelson Co, VA records will show something. Did James, the son of Thomas, go to Gibson Co., TN? Jan At 11:09 AM 2/26/99 -0800, you wrote: >Jan, >I have two documents with James NEVIL's signature.
